self-acrilicing and hard-working ttenub
liuatisdckwn here -men who have fought
for thirty yearn and more in the forlorn
hope not one has beau appointed under
rrosiueiu tiarrmoii to any other than
local office. There have been offices
galore to give out, but they have gone
mainly to Indianapolis the c tv which
stands as the prototype of "the great
American ung," that we have all heard
so mucb about. The Administration
seems to know little else than Indiana
polls. Let us review the spoils that city

1st-President Harrison. 2d -Attorney-general Miller. ad-Private Sucretary llallord. 4th-A. G, I'orter, Minister to Italy. oth-Ilis son, private secretary.

brother-in-law, who has a soft snap
somewhere out west.

District of Columbia.

II. Miller, judge of the U. S. Supreme
Court, as is well understood. 13th-DunIsp, marshal of the IT. 8. Courts, with a nominal rasidenea at Franklin, twenty miles south, but really in Indianapolis man. I4th-Harry McFarlihd, a questionable character, transferred to a paying position at Washiugton. llih A dosen or so Marion eountv
